Haiti Benefit show, January 27th at the Bell House (Brooklyn)
As mentioned last week, we’re playing as part of a larger benefit show for Haiti, and details (as well as tickets) are available today.
The show is Wednesday, January 27th, at the Bell House in Brooklyn, doors open at 6:00, and 100% of the proceeds will be split between Save the Children and Partners in Health.
All sets are short, stripped-down affairs and we should be on about 9:15 or so. Although with a line-up like this, it’s worth making a full evening of it:
NY State Senator Diane Savino
The Wahoo Skiffle Crazies
Pat Kiernan (of NY 1)
Here We Go Magic
Eugene Mirman
Matthew Caws & ? (TBA)
Eugene Mirman
Sondre Lerche
Todd Barry
The Wrens
AC Newman + Rhett Miller + Nicole Atkins + Charles Bissell as The Seekers
Ted Leo
Jimmy Fallon
Cold War Kids
…with others still to be confirmed (and note Charles’ ’60s Australian folkie turn as part of the Seekers cover set w/ A.C. Newman, Rhett Miller & Nicole Atkins). If you’re there between 6:30 – 7:30, enjoy free food courtesy of Great Jones Café, Dub Pies, and more. And there’s a special two hour edition of keyboard karaoke hosted by Sara Schaefer and fellow South Jerseyan, Joe McGinty, in the front lounge from 11pm-1am.
Again, tickets are on sale as of noon today (here). And if you’re not in the NYC-area but still looking for a way to donate the much-needed money for immediate help and long-term rebuilding, see our list of organizations already in Haiti, doing great and difficult work there (one post down the page), courtesy of our friends at Air Traffic Control.
And for whatever you can do, thanks very much,
